Sonus Faber Feet Thread Spec's

[Acolcer]

I have followed with great interest all of the recent Stillpoiiint posts. I have decided to start with Stillpoints for my Sonus Faber Amati Homage speakers. My local dealer here in Charlotte, NC can't determine what the thread count specs are for my Amati's and therefore don't know which adaptor to order from Stillpoint. They have been trying in vain for four months now. I turned to Ivan and he suggested I post this message. I am hopeful someone out there can provide me this information. Thanks in advance!

I know quite a few folks that have these speakers here; if you could just take one of the unused threaded feet and check the thread size and pitch.

Are the Amati Homage supplied with four equal length spikes per speaker or two short and two long? If the second option, Stillpoints will not work properly, a subject raised by allvinyl in previous posts. I believe that a solution is being sought by Stillpoints.

Don't know about Homage, but Futuras have 2 long and 2 short.

Eyeballing my Amati Homage's, it appears they are the same. I have adjusted the rake angle a few degrees, but the spikes look the same length to these old eyes.

Wouldn't it work if you put the spike on the threaded hole of the Stillpoint ?

I wouldn't be as clean but it would be ok, no ?

This should work for the mini and the Ultra5

And works if you turn the SS upside down from the position shown in your picture!

I'd audition the Stillpoints before purchase as raising the speaker higher from the floor than the manufacturer intended can have a negative impact on the sound.
